The supp.

as 26, Figs. 4 and 5, which becomes heated so that as the oil passestherethrough it is heated somewhat before it gets far into the hot pipe3 in which it ishthoroughly gasified.

It will be noted that the gasifying pipes 3---8, the mixing chamber 13and the superheating chamber 15 are all directly over the burner body.and that the combustion is uniformly distributed therebeneath, wherebyto get the best results. It will also be noted that the air to be mixedwith the gasified oil and which enters the mixing chamber 13 through thenipple 21, is drawn in from the space in the stove below the fire box,assuming that the burner is placed in the fire box of a kitchen range,thereby using air which is slight-warmed and dried.

TWhile I have shown and describcdthe preferred form of the fihvention, Iam aware that changes can be made therein without departing from thespirit of the invention, and I do not limit the invention to thisparticular form, except as I may be limited by the hereto appendedclaims.

I claim:

1. In a burner of the character referred to, in combination, a pipesection constituting a gasifying chamber into which oil is discharged, ahollow burner body beneath said pipe section and having a top adapted toreceive oil thereupon for generating purposes, with combustion teatsprojecting upwardly therefrom through any oil thereupon andcommunicatingwith the interior of said burner body, and means connecting said pipesection and the gasifying charnber therein with the interior of saidhollow burner body, whereby the gas from said gasitying chamber isdischarged into said burner body and through said teatsfor combustion.

2. In a burner of the character referred to, in combination, a pipesection constituting a gasifyin chamber with means for supplying oilthereto, a second pipe section constituting a superheating chamberwithmeans for admitting air thereto and into which said gasifyingchamber discharges, a hollow burner body beneath said pipe sections andhaving a top adapted to receive oil thereupon for generating purposes,and provided with a series of combustion teats projecting upwardlytherefrom through any oil thereupon and forming combustion outlets fromsaid burner body. and means connecting said superheating chamber withsaid burner body, whereby the gas from said chamber is discharged intosaid burner body and through said combustion teats, for the purposereferred to.

3. An oil burner of the character referred to, comprising in combinationa pipe section constituting a gasifying chamber, a cro-ss open at oneside to admit air and constituting a mixing chamber, a needle valvemechanism connecting said gasifying chamber with said mixing chamber, apipe section connected with said cross and constituting a superheatingchamber, vand into which the mixture from said mixing chamber isdischarged, a hollow burner body underlying said gasifying, mixing andsuperheating chambers and into which said superheating chamberdischarges, said burner body having. a fiange around its upper edge anda series of teats opening therefrom and constituting combustion outlets,and means for supplying a quantity of oil forgenerating purposes on tothe top of said burner body. 4and around said beats, substantially asreferred to, a burner body of hollowconstruc-A tion having a series ofcombustion teats projecting upwardly therefrom and communieatingtherewith, and a flange around its upper outer edge whereby toconstitute the top of said burner body a generating pan, said burnerbody having an opening formed therethrough but not communicating withthe interior thereof, substantially as and for the purpose described.

6. A burner of the character referred to comprising in. combination, amember constituting a gasifying chamber with means for admitting oilthereto, a hollow burner body having a pan-like top to receive oil forgenerating purposes, portions of said top projecting upwardly therefromand having outlet combustion openings from the interior of said burnerbody above the oil upon the top thereof, whereby to prevent oil fromgetting intoisaid openings, and means connecting said gasifying chamberwith the interior of said burner body, with an air inlet for supplyingair to said gas mixture, substantially as described.

7. In a burner of the character referred to, in combination, a.gasifier, into which the fuel is discharged, amixing chamber, meansproviding a restricted communicating openying from said gasiier to saidmixing chamber, means for admitting air to said mixing chamber, and aburner body underlying said gasifier and mixing chamber and into whichsaid mixing chamber discharges the mixture, said burner body havingmeans upon its upper side to receive a quantity of oil for generatingpurposes, and upwardly pro` jeetingl members with gas outletstherethrough from' the interior of said burner body for combustionpurposes, substantially as described.

8. An oil burner comprising in combination, a loop of pipe constituting'a gasifying chamber and into one end of which the fuel oil isdischarged, a cross constituting a mixing chamber with which theopposite end of Said pipe connects.l a needle valve mech-v anisxninterposed between the chamber and pipe to regulate the discharge fromsaid gasifying chamber to said mixing chamber, a pipe sectionconstituting a super-beatinp,r chamber communicating with Said cross andlying between the looped portions of said loop of pipe, a burner body ofhollow construction underlying said gasiier and said super-heatingchamber and having a series of combustion outlets from the upper sidethereof, and a nipple member extending through said burner body andcommunicatingr with the lower side of said cross` whereby to admit airto said mixing chamber, substantially as described.

9. An oil burner comprising in combination, a loop of pipe constitutinga gasifier,

a valve for controlling,` the admission of oil thereto, a cross, aneedle valve mechanism connecting the opposite end of said looped pipewith said cross, a pipe section from the opposite side of said cross andconstituting a super-heating chamber, a burner body of hollowconstruction with which Said Superheating chamber communicates, saidburner body having a top formed as a pan to receive oil for generatingpurposes and a. series of upwardly projecting combustion tents openingfrom said burner body, a nipple extending through said burnerbody andconnected with the underside of said cross for Supplying air to saidmixing chamber, and means for supplying a quantity of oil to the top ofsaid burner body for generating purposes, substantially as shown and described.
